Another State Of Mind


Growing up, I was very influenced by the music I listened to. As time went on, it was not just the music, but it was the attitude of the people making the music that made you different. A few films and bands I saw at the early ages of 12-18 changed my life, my attitude, and the way I will live my life forever.
From an early age I was ALWAYS a DIY (do it yourself) kind of person. As I grew up, I found this attitude and lifestyle was not for all.
The first time I saw "Another State Of Mind" was really a life changing moment.
This is it!! I said to myself. YES!!!




                    


For those who have never seen this punk rock masterpiece, I invite you to sit back and enjoy the beginning of the one and only Social Distortion along with Youth Brigade and Minor Threat. As you travel for six weeks and ten thousand miles on the road, you see all of the good and bad that goes with that. The film documents not only the complex and challenging social dynamics of the punk rock scene, the tour bands and their crew, but it also documents the DIY punk touring in its infancy.
